Before Shen Wu could say anything, the widow next door leaned over and looked in Lu Xuan's direction, smiling like a flower, "Third Brother Lu, it was all thanks to you yesterday, otherwise my son might have died."

"I saved a few eggs, you can take this, thank you..."

She leaned forward, and Lu Xuan's face darkened. His face became even colder, but he didn't say no. Instead, he lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Wu, "Wife, go and collect it."

When Shen Wu went to the county town, she also heard some rumors about the widow next door in the car. In today's world, it is not easy for a woman to raise several children. She did not participate in the discussion of such things and did not take it seriously. Unexpectedly, she saw it today.

It was still directed at her man.

Shen Wu stretched out her hand and stared at the egg.

The woman looked at Shen Wu, then at Lu Xuan, "I want to thank you personally..."

"Bring it here."

Shen Wu reached out and snatched the bowl.

Shen Wu looks delicate and not aggressive at all. The widow had expected Old Lady Lu to do these things, but she really didn't expect the young wife in front of her.

It was taken away by Shen Wu unexpectedly.

"Hey? You..."

Shen Wu stared at her, "Why, you don't want to give it to me again?"

"I can't thank you enough for saving my son's life. Could it be that you are not here to thank my man for saving your son? Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?"

Shen Wu raised her voice. People had gotten up early at this time, and many were standing at the door watching the fun.

The widow forced a smile and said, "Of course not. You can take the eggs and give me the bowl. I still have to go to the county hospital."

There were five eggs in total, and Shen Wu took them out.

Old Mrs. Lu wanted to take them away, but Shen Wu just stuffed them into her pocket.

Mrs. Lu...

Shen Wu took the eggs and prepared to cook. She looked at Old Lady Lu and said with a smile, "I want to eat two of these eggs today!"

"You think you're the emperor! Eat two, you loser woman!"

"Boil two eggs for Third Brother as well. This is what he earned by saving people." Shen Wu looked at Old Lady Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu didn't care about the egg anymore. She looked outside and said, "Old Third, what's going on?"

"Lu went into the mountains after eating his fill and was gored by a wild boar. I took him to the hospital."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Wu and asked, "Do you have any clothes to wash?"

"Yes, it's in the basket beside the bed."

Lu Xuan told his mother and went to wash clothes. Old Mrs. Lu stared at his back as he left, then turned to look at Shen Wu, "You want my son? To wash your clothes?"

"Mom, I'm still preparing dinner for your son."

Mrs. Lu, "Can it be the same?"

Before Shen Wu could say anything, Xu Yin came back with her arms folded, "The widow just now took my second brother's car to the county town."

Suddenly the old lady screamed, "What?"

"Second Brother Lu, my Dabao is injured and in the county town. It's inconvenient for a woman like me to get there on foot. Can you give me a ride, second brother?"

Xu Yin repeated what she had heard, and her accent was unlike her usual cold one.

Suddenly, Mrs. Lu was like a firecracker that exploded.

"This woman! I don't think she has good intentions. She's always trying to help my son!"

……

Old Mrs. Lu no longer paid attention to the fact that Shen Wu asked Lu Xuan to wash clothes. She went to scold her sons who were still at home one by one, forbidding them to have any relationship with the neighbors. Even Old Man Lu, who was already an old man, was scolded.

Shen Wu and Xu Yin looked at each other.

Xu Yin said, "Can you eat this egg? I see that woman looks at your man in a strange way."

"Even if she's not ordinary, Third Brother will take the bait. This depends on the two of them. I don't need to keep an eye on her. If Lu Xuan has any intentions, I can't prevent it even if I guard against it every day." Shen Wu raised the egg, "Do you want to eat it?"

Xu Yin: "Eat."

After the rain, there was less work in the fields, but the people in the countryside were not idle. Shen Wu watched as they went up the mountain in groups of two or three.

After asking around, I learned that the mushrooms and black fungus on the mountain had sprouted after the rain. While everyone was not working in the fields, they went to the mountain to find some fresh food to eat.

Shen Wu was tired of eating potatoes, eggplants and beans every day. She was craving for fresh mushrooms and black fungus, so she picked up her basket and prepared to go to the mountains without being urged by Old Lady Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu was pleased to hear this and felt that the third son's daughter-in-law had also become sensible.

"Go."

Unexpectedly, just after she finished speaking, Shen Wu said, "There are few mountains in our home. Find some black fungus and mushrooms and send some to my mother."

Suddenly, Mrs. Lu became unhappy.

"You are a member of our Lu family now that you are married. Don't always think about sending things to your parents' home." Old Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Yin who was idle. "Fourth sister, you follow her and watch her. Don't send anything to her parents' home."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Take your arrows."

Shen Wu...

What about sending it to her parents' home was just intentional. After all, the original owner's parents were not good people either. Her purpose was to be with Xu Yin. However, her purpose was achieved, and Mrs. Lu was too cruel.

"Mom, you are too cruel!"

Shen Wu left angrily, and Xu Yin followed closely, "I'll keep an eye on you."

Old Lady Lu looked at their backs, turned her head and said to Long Yujiao who was reading, "I think it's a good thing that we married them together so that they can keep an eye on each other and stop any trouble."

"The third one is a slippery one who doesn't want to do any work. The fourth one is quiet but very courageous!"

We can come up with a way to supervise each other.

She is simply a genius!

Old Mrs. Lu was proud of her idea, and Long Yujiao just gave her a perfunctory compliment.

She has been very depressed recently. She couldn't find the ginseng. It must have been discovered and stolen. Looking at the backs of Shen Wu and Xu Yin, she always felt that something was wrong.

She intuitively felt that the ginseng was stolen by Shen Wu.

"Mom, I'm going to the mountain to see if there's anything to eat, so I can do my part for the family."

When Mrs. Lu heard that she was going to the mountains, she said, "There is heavy dew in the mountains, and there are wild animals. The eldest son next door was gored by a wild boar a few days ago. Don't go. Just study hard."

"I don't ask for much money, I just want stability and not to be wronged."

Long Yujiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I know you care about me, mother. There are too many people on the mountain these days, and the wild boars don't dare to come out. I have learned enough, so I just want to go out and relax."

"I can't help at home when I'm busy, so I want to help you more during this free time."

After these words, Old Mrs. Lu felt relieved. The third and fourth sons' families were no match for Yujiao, especially when compared with the third son's family. The third son's words were so infuriating.

Shen Wu entered the mountain and saw several kinds of mushrooms. Then she realized that she had no idea which mushrooms were poisonous and which were not.

I looked around in the crowd and saw the woman who I had admired so much when I took the bus last time. I remembered her name was Yang Maimiao.

Shen Wu went up to her and said, "Sister Mai Miao, I don't know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not. Can you teach me?"

"This candy is what I bought last time. Try it." Shen Wu said as she handed over a few White Rabbit milk candies. There was no way they had a lot of candy at home. Lu Xuan bought too much.

The round-faced woman looked to be in her twenties. When she saw Shen Wu's face, she smiled first, "No need for sugar. It's not a laborious task. Just follow me and I'll teach you."

"Eat it quickly and taste it, otherwise I won't bother you next time I have something to do."

She was polite and pretty. Sugar was a rare commodity here, and not many people would buy it unless it was a festival. Yang Mai Miao still collected some and put them in her pocket as a treasure. "You are polite, better than Aunt Lu. She is stingy. You can take advantage of others, but you can't take anything from her pocket."

"If you don't work in the fields, everyone in the village will know. My mother said it for a while, but if it goes on for a long time, you will definitely be scolded by your mother-in-law. Pick more. In addition to eating them yourself, you can dry them and eat them in the winter. If you are short of money, you can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives or state-owned restaurants and make some money."

After receiving Shen Wu's candy, Yang Maimiao became much more enthusiastic when teaching her——

"This chicken leg mushroom is delicious."

“This is a little gray mushroom!”

"No, it's poisonous."

……

"After a while, when the hazel mushrooms grow, they will be delicious! Let's stew a chicken."

Shen Wu's mouth was watering at the sight of this aunt, and she was already imagining when she could have a meal of chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms.

Shen Wu mingled with the others, but Xu Yin was not used to this kind of environment, so she went to pick the wood ears from the dead tree by herself.

The mountains were rich in supplies after the rain. Shen Wu picked half a basket of mushrooms and almost recognized all the edible ones. She found a reason to go and talk to Xu Yin.

I didn’t see Xu Yin, I saw Long Yujiao and Lu Laowu first——
